WEkEO’s JupyterHub GPU-enabled environment supports the effective use of foundation models for ocean science by making fine-tuning accessible, scalable, and practical. By allowing users to adapt pre-trained models to their own data and use cases, it helps bridge the gap between experimentation and real-world research and application. 

On 24 and 26 February 2026, WEkEO held a two-half-day training session on the critical topic of Natural Disasters: Earth Observation for Extreme Events.

The Copernicus Coastal Thematic Hub is a clear demonstration of WEkEO’s real-world value.
